15 May 2026

Charlotte F has been selected as a regional finalist in the National Youth Monologues 2026 competition and will compete in the Classical Section at The Lyceum Theatre Crewe on 17 May, representing St Leonards. If successful, she will go on to perform her monologue on the West End stage in London.

he National Youth Monologue Competition celebrates contemporary, classical and original performance, offering young actors the opportunity to perform in front of industry professionals. Charlotte’s success reflects the talent, commitment and strong culture of performance within Drama at St Leonards.

This summer, Charlotte is also set to take on a second film role. Earlier this year, she appeared in a credited role in ‘Supply and Demand’, the Scottish feature film by BAFTA award-winning director Garry Fraser. A familiar face in the School’s performing arts, Charlotte appeared in the 2025 production of ‘Wyrd Sisters’ at the Byre Theatre and was also a contestant in the Jull Medal competition for this academic year.

In September, Charlotte will begin studying Acting at The Oxford School of Drama after graduating with the Class of 2026 this May. We congratulate Charlotte on her recent successes and wish her all the best for the competition and the exciting opportunities ahead.
